Generating Items for Measuring Needs-Based Quality of Life and Self-Perceived Health Inequity in Patients with Multimorbidity: Development of the MultiMorbidity Questionnaire (MMQ).

Purpose: To describe the processes of developing domains and items for the MultiMorbidity Questionnaire (MMQ), a multimorbidity-specific PROM for the assessment of Needs-based QoL.

Patients And Methods: We developed items and domains for the MMQ through 17 qualitative content validity questionnaire interviews with adults with multimorbidity by testing items from an item bank (covering items with content inspired by existing Needs-based QoL measures for single diseases). The interviews alternated between an explorative part and more focused cognitive interview techniques.

Specific Measures of Quality of Life in Patients with Multimorbidity in Primary Healthcare: A Systematic Review on Patient-Reported Outcome Measures' Adequacy of Measurement.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to search systematically for Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) used among patients with multimorbidity. Furthermore, the aim is to evaluate the adequacy and validity of the PROMs identified.

Design And Setting: This systematic review follows the PRISMA guidelines.
